Once again this year hunters are helping the hungry. For the sixth year in a row, hunters are giving to food banks across the province. They donate deer and moose meat to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program, which distributes it to Feed Nova Scotia foodbanks. Natural Resources Minister Charlie Parker says the province is proud to work with Feed Nova Scotia and others to help make life better for Nova Scotia families. Hunters have donated 3,553 kilograms of meat to Feed Nova Scotia over the past five years.
To donate deer or moose meat, hunters may take carcasses to one of 18 participating, registered meat cutters in the province and indicate the amount of meat they want to donate. Feed Nova Scotia then distributes the meat to 150 member food banks provincewide. For more information on this program and other ways Feed Nova Scotia is helping hungry families, visit
